Lyrics

The lyrics of the song[3] are a lament on the fate of the village bride Ayşe.

The word "Gelin" in Turkish and Gəlin in Azerbaijani means someone who has come into a family (like a bride for example). "Ayşe" is a Turkic female given name, an alternative of the Arabic name Aisha, famously the name of the second wife of Prophet Muhammed.
